The YMCA is offering homeschool classes for a variety of interests and education levels for ages 4 - 19 at two area locations, Northwest Cary YMCA, in Cary and Camp Kanata in Wake Forest.
Our YMCA partners with you to support your child's homeschool education and we have teachers and classes to supplement and complement the education you provide at home. We provide engaging courses that enrich your homeschool student's development through opportunities to learn and grow in collaborative, hands-on classes. Classes are capped at 15 for students ages 6 - 19 while our preschool (ages 4 - 6) Exploreres classes are capped at 10 students.
All students age 7 years and older must register as homeschool students with the North Carolina Department of Education. The YMCA homeschool program is unable to provide classes for students enrolled in public or private schools.
We offer a variety of core academic classes as well as electives from Math and Biology to Art and Creative Writing. While the YMCA is a Christian organization, we use a secular curriculum in all classes and our families come from a wide variety of faith traditions and cultural backgrounds.
The YMCA Homeschool program is offered at the Northwest Cary YMCA, our largest site, and YMCA Camp Kanata. The Chapel Hill - Carrboro YMCA offers Team Time, a recreational program for homeschooled children ages 5 - 16.
